Digitisation: A Funders Perspective
The document discusses perspectives on digitization from a funder. It provides examples of large-scale digitization projects in areas like newspapers, government documents, and books. Successful projects require engagement with users, clear educational benefits, strong management, and technical and intellectual quality reviews. Digitization creates free, high-quality online resources but requires ongoing funding to sustain them.
How JISC projects are funded and sustained
A presentation for students at University College London, looking at the JISC processes for selecting and giving guidance to digitisation projects
History of olympic
The document discusses the history and host cities of the modern Olympic Games from 1896 to 2016. It notes some magic moments in Olympic history like Jesse Owens' victories in 1936 and the Dream Team in 1992. Popular Olympic sports mentioned include weightlifting, athletics, equestrian, and gymnastics. Athletes must qualify for the Olympics by performing well in prior competitions.
Could the Military use your Technology?
This presentation was delivered at the Digital Shoreditch Festival in London on 21 May 2013. Its purpose was to introduce the defence market to the digital sector in London. It covers:
The Importance of Public Sector, Funding Levels, Size of Defence Market, UK Defence and Industry,
Digital Sector Opportunities, UK Defence Entry Points, and
Pros and Cons
Digital Resources for the Eighteenth Century
The document discusses JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) and its role in providing digital resources for the 18th century. It provides an overview of JISC's activities such as negotiating access to resources, funding digitization projects, and addressing issues around finding, prioritizing, and measuring the impact of digitized special collections and 18th century materials. Key projects mentioned include 18th century parliamentary papers and various digitized collections that will be available online in autumn 2009.
Historical Photographs of China - the journey towards sustainability and utility
Presentation about the University of Bristol's 'Historical Photographs of China' collection at the GW4 Remediating the Archive digital humanities workshop in Cardiff, November 2016. The 'Historical Photographs of China' project began work in 2006 as part of an AHRC funded project on the 'History of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service' into an initiative that locates, digitises, and publishes online photographs of China held, largely, in private hands outside the country. Although some of the 10,000 photographs now online - a quarter of the total - originate from UK institutional repositories, our materials are principally 'crowdsourced' from families living outside China. This presentation introduces the collection and discusses the technical challenges of growing and sustaining free access to this virtual photographic archive of modern China.

Students are (not) consumers SCAP July 2015
Students should not be viewed solely as consumers of their university education according to Dr. Paul Greatrix, Registrar at the University of Nottingham. His blog and Twitter account advocate for a balanced perspective on the student experience that considers academic, social, and personal development in addition to tuition costs. The University of Nottingham website provides contact information for the Registrar's office and information on degree programs.

International conference
This document discusses student engagement in higher education. It outlines that student belonging, supportive relationships between staff and students, and relevant experiences are important for engagement. Engaged students have better outcomes individually and for society. Student surveys, outcomes data, and league tables are used to measure engagement and inform course improvements to enhance outcomes. Emerging technologies may help engagement, but their use requires care to avoid problematic data collection and ensure student privacy. The future of education is uncertain as jobs and needed skills rapidly change, requiring flexible, technology-enabled learning to prepare students.

International league tables comparing universities are increasingly influential but also controversial. While they provide information for various stakeholders, their methodologies are questionable and criteria may not fully capture university quality. They can also incentivize universities in unintended ways and be politically manipulated. Most argue tables should be used carefully while also working to improve teaching, research, and other outcomes that tables measure.
University Business to 2015 and Beyond - Nov 2013
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing universities in 2015 and beyond. It focuses on rising up the UK league tables through data-driven recruitment. Internationalization is also discussed, including the ambitions and realities of increasing global partnerships and student recruitment abroad. Managing large, diverse international universities is highlighted as an ongoing challenge that requires full integration and risk management.

Why branch campuses? HUMANE June 2013
The document discusses the University of Nottingham's experience establishing branch campuses in China and Malaysia. It provides context on growth in international higher education enrollments. The University of Nottingham sees branch campuses as part of its internationalization strategy and ambitions for its brand globally. However, managing international branch campuses also presents challenges related to governance, ensuring comparable quality and standards, cultural differences, and human resource issues. Overall, international branch campuses allow the University of Nottingham to offer unique opportunities for students while also posing new challenges to manage.

ISCN 2015: WG 3, James Evans
This document discusses how universities can be transformed through co-production using living labs and shared territories. It proposes that campuses can act as living labs to strategically align co-production projects around sustainability. Living labs provide a framework to connect these projects temporally and thematically. Specific projects then act as shared territories that bring different actors together to collaborate and critically reflect. The document outlines several potential co-production projects at the University of Manchester campus relating to transportation, energy, and the local economy to demonstrate this approach.

Aua league tables 2012
The document discusses issues with national and international university league tables. It notes that while league tables provide information for various stakeholders, the criteria and metrics used do not fully capture university quality and can distort behaviors. Both national and international league tables utilize different methodologies and data sources that are often flawed or biased. While league tables are influential, their results should be interpreted carefully given the limitations of ranking complex institutions on simplistic metrics.
